Healthy Start's Booklist

Healthy Start uses this booklist to help them select books in other languages to use with their families during home visits. The list includes wordless books, Spanish language books, and English/Spanish bilingual books.

Star Bright Books

Star Bright Books publishes books that “embrace children of all colors, nationalities and abilities, because we believe that all children should see themselves in print.” They produce picture and board books in sixteen different languages, and have books featuring children with disabilities. They offer discounts for programs that give away books to children so be sure to ask them about it! Bilingual books are in English and French, Haitian Creole, Japanese, Portuguese, Russian, and Spanish. Monolingual books are available in Arabic, Chinese-traditional, Chinese-simplified, English, Farsi, French, Korean, Navajo, Portuguese, Spanish, Tagalog, and Vietnamese. These titles are often available through jobbers like BWI, Ingram, and B&T.

Make a Recommendation

If you would like to recommend a source for getting children's books in other languages please email the full organization or company name, criteria for receiving the exceptional price, a brief description, and link to their website to Katie Anderson.

All recommendations will be reviewed carefully by the Oregon State Library and Oregon Commission on Children and Families. The purpose of this website is to provide a few carefully selected resources to help busy librarians and Healthy Start family support workers plan storytimes or one-on-one books sharing sessions.
